Tenascin-C is highly expressed in the SVZ, and tenascin-C deficient mice have altered numbers of NSCs due to defective response to FGF2 and BMP4, thus suggesting a role for this ECM molecule in the regulation of growth factor signaling in NSC niche [227].
Altered numbers of blood DCs have been reported in type 1 diabetes (T1D).
These data indicate that these mutations with altered numbers of vesicle fusion events in the mammalian chromaffin cell also have altered aldicarb sensitivity when expressed in C. elegans.
